Mark McDonald 1f2068b9fe fix(python): gemini batching, user agent and variable dims (#3618)
Carrying over from #2915, this patch introduces:
* Single-API call batching support for Gemini embeddings (up to 100 at a
time, the API limit)
* A versioned user agent header for Gemini API calls
* Support for [variable embedding dimension
size](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/embeddings#control-embedding-size)
(Gemini is MRL trained)

class GeminiText(TextEmbeddingFunction):
"""
An embedding function that uses Google's Gemini API. Requires GOOGLE_API_KEY to
be set.
https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/embeddings
Supports various tasks types:
| Task Type | Description |
|-------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| "`retrieval_query`" | Specifies the given text is a query in a |
| | search/retrieval setting. |
| "`retrieval_document`" | Specifies the given text is a document in a |
| | search/retrieval setting. Using this task type |
| | requires a title but is automatically provided by |
| | Embeddings API |
| "`semantic_similarity`" | Specifies the given text will be used for Semantic |
| | Textual Similarity (STS). |
| "`classification`" | Specifies that the embeddings will be used for |
| | classification. |
| "`clustering`" | Specifies that the embeddings will be used for |
| | clustering. |
Note: The supported task types might change in the Gemini API, but as long as a
supported task type and its argument set is provided, those will be delegated
to the API calls.
Parameters
----------
name: str, default "gemini-embedding-001"
The name of the model to use. Supported models include:
- "gemini-embedding-001" (768 dimensions)
Note: The legacy "models/embedding-001" format is also supported but
"gemini-embedding-001" is recommended.
query_task_type: str, default "retrieval_query"
Sets the task type for the queries.
source_task_type: str, default "retrieval_document"
Sets the task type for ingestion.
Examples
--------
